BTW, based on your comments, I would not be surprised if youre one of these employers paying your help late 1980s wages.
Oh please, I'm not an employer, not even close. I'm 25 with half a college degree. I just have experience being on the low-paid side of the equation, and understand how a personal budget works. When you don't get paid much, you have to prioritize and figure out what's really that important. And you look for a better opportunity.
And depending on the job, 1980s wages are appropriate. I wouldn't pay anyone $15/hr to slap a burger on a bun, unless I could find enough idiots to pay $10 for that burger. Likewise, entry-level warehouse jobs aren't gonna put a Lambo in your garage.

I wouldn't pay anyone $15/hr to slap a burger on bla bla.. Look, I can tell you're 25. Ya got a a lot to learn.
Look, this guy is supposed to be a valued ten year employee, but is 10 bucks an hour at a high-end plastic molding specialist/engineering firm?
?????
Many American adults are subjected to these obscene decades old wage scales. It's no secret.
It's greedy bull sh*t. End of story...
He should try to get that government job....Big secure income, top shelf tax paid benefits, and get that lottery style tax paid retirement pension...Government employee tax paid welfare retirement for life...Ya can't beat it.

Huh? at first you thought I was some old fart cheaping out and paying my employees $10/hr..?

I'm not arguing this point. I fully agreed (in my first post) that something smells funny about this situation. I was only arguing the point that $10/hr isn't liveable on. For a single dude, you can make it work.
To: Svartalfiar
For a single dude, you can make it work. 10 bucks an hour? What's that after all the taxes? 7 or 8 bucks an hour?
Ya mean a single 20 year old 'dude' living at home with the folks or with 3 others youngsters sharing an apartment? Maybe a downtown boarding house?
Roger that.
